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

Is it true that Caligula was assassinated by his own Praetorian Guard?

Yes. Multiple reference sources state that Caligula was assassinated in AD 41 in a conspiracy involving officers of the Praetorian Guard, and one source explicitly says he was killed by his own Praetorian guard.
