i know that new rome/san fransico bay has like a demigod safe area where people have houses, and live like normal lives, even up till their old age, but I wish they established some estates like that in ACTUAL rome, like I don't see why not? I know rick only did this because the story has to take place in america, but it would be so cool if some of the roman demigods, lived in actual rome, and went to college there (instead of 'new rome university' it could be old rome university)

I know according to the pjo logic, living in greece/rome or even going there, is extremely dangerous because that's a target for monsters, but it's not as though they are safe elsewhere. especially if they're a big three kid, they'd be tracked no matter what. if new rome had instilled a safety border in america, then why can't they do the same in rome?

all they need to do is worship the roman gods, and ask them to enchant a safety protection charm in a slightly deserted land of rome (which isn't even necessary because mortals can't see demigod stuff unless they have clearsight, this is just for extra safety).

Like there's no way you could tell me that jason if he didn't die wouldn't want to settle down in rome. He was THRILLED when they visited, and he's a roman history freak, he would love it there.
