According to Seutonius there are two versions of Caligula's murder. One had Chaerea coming up behind Caligula and striking him in the neck while his co-conspiraor, Sabinus, stabbed him in the chest. The second version has Sabinus asking Caligula for the days watchword and when he heard it Chaerea, who was behind Caligula, yelled something like "okay" and when Caligula turned his head at the sound of his voice, Chaerea split his jawbone. When that didn't kill him, Caligula was stabbed thirty more times by others in on the plot.
