To tell you the truth I don't think Reyna would ever allow Annabeth to lead the Roman army even as just their strategist. Maybe share the responsibility with her if the Greek army joins as well but the Romans would never follow Annabeth who they know nothing about no matter how good of a strategist she is. A lot of them still have doubts on Percy so Reyna will not risk losing the support of her people.
