[Why is that complicated to answer? Maybe because we're dealing with centuries of Rome being an empire and now it's not...really. It's a city and a place to keep the ways of Rome alive so that the gods can stay alive as well? Complicated. That's all it is. But how to explain all that in a text? Jason sighs and starts typing]
I'm a Roman demigod. There are Romans who live in Rome, Italy but I don't think we have much in common ethnically speaking.
Rome used to be part of a large empire called The Roman Empire. At its height it stretched into three different continents. But, eventually they fell apart and their armies and people were scattered or reabsorbed back into the local cultures. My camp was settled by a part of The Twelfth Legion Fulminata, one of the last legions of the Roman military. They were told by Jupiter to stay alive, recruit demigods and their children, and keep Rome going.
There have been different sites over the years, but the current location is in the United States on the west coast.
