Aut vincere aut mori. Conquer or Die."
OverviewCamp Jupiter is the Roman version of Camp Half-Blood. It is a training camp and safe haven for children of the Roman gods. The Roman demigods and their activities director, Lupa, knew the gods by their Roman counterparts. Its entrance is a service tunnel near the main Caldecott Tunnel in San Francisco.
HistoryAfter the fall of Troy in ancient times, Aeneas-- the demigod son of Venus-- led the Trojans into exile in Italy and founded a new civilization, which eventually became Rome. Their culture became more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike-- which the gods eventually adopted-- and produced demigods different from those conceived by their Greek aspects. A rivalry developed between the Greek and Roman sides, which subsequently led to many conflicts over the millennia. The last of these wars mirrored the mortal's civil war of the 1860s. Because of the tremendous death toll, the gods decided to completely separate their children, to avoid further bloodshed, by weaving the Mist so thickly that the two rival groups forgot each other and would continue to do so ever since.
CampersThe campers of Camp Jupiter are more disciplined, formal, and warlike-- which is similar to their gods. Lupa is a harsh trainer who respects only the strong. In addition, campers are not only comprised of demigods, but also legacies, or descendants of demigods.
