Depeitimas, a Roman veteran residing near Brindisi, has a story somewhat similar to Quintus. He brought a group of people who had previously served in the Roman Army to join the rebel army, significantly boosting their strength;
Cleonis, a horse herder from the southern Calabria, is the rebel leader who led his team into conflict with the First Legion of Fesaros.
However, when Spartacus introduced Cleonis to Maximus, the former horse herder didn't display any radical behavior. He acted quite composed. Maximus was originally prepared to handle the criticism from some individuals, but so far everything remained calm. It seems Spartacus has made considerable efforts to reconcile the differences among the leaders.
While Maximus was quietly observing everyone, Cross suddenly struck the table forcefully and said, "I say, Spartacus, since we managed to gather today, shouldn't we have something good to eat and celebrate? You wouldn't say there's not even a bit of meat here, would you?"
