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's crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BCE triggered a Roman civil war?

Yes. Multiple reference works state that Julius Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon in January 49 BC precipitated or started the Roman civil war, including a Wikipedia article, a 2019 archaeological volume, a Zenodo coin study, and a 1944 newspaper item. Several other items confirm the crossing and the ensuing civil war but do not explicitly tie the crossing to triggering it.
