Decimation worked for the Romans although it had mostly fallen out of use by Caesars time. JC never used it but did threaten to decimate a legion when they mutinied. He lot them off when they handed over the ringleaders.
What he did to Graham doesn't make sense to me though. Graham was loyal, dedicated. Yes, he made mistakes but Caesar should've been aware of his limitations as a general. Blaming your subordinates when things go wrong won't encourage loyalty.
