INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
10 sources for · 0 against

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

Is it true that Julius Caesar had a romantic relationship with Cleopatra VII of Egypt?

Unclear. Multiple reference and scholarly sources describe Cleopatra's relationship with Julius Caesar as romantic or sexual, including calling her liaisons with him romantic and noting her son by Caesar, but each covers the relationship only in passing rather than settling it fully.
