Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that specific classical sources document the legal abolition of the Roman paternal right to execute family members?

Yes. Specific classical sources and historical analyses document the evolution and eventual legal limitation of the Roman paternal power regarding family members. Legal historical studies show that the absolute right of the paterfamilias underwent substantial statutory and institutional changes over time.
