Twelfth Legion Fulminata

The Twelfth Legion is a large group of Roman demigods and legicies that have followed Western Civilization from Rome.

History
Established by Julius Caesar, a legacy of Venus, and nicknamed the Fulminata 'armed with lightning'. The Twelfth was active throughout the span of the Roman Empire, being last mentioned in historical records c. 500 AD which is presumably when they went underground.

The Twelfth was given secret orders by Jupiter himself to, in Hazel's words; 'stay alive, recruit demigods and their children, keep Rome going.' They have more than succeeded. The legion, two hundred or so strong, not only trains demigods but defends a miniature Rome populated by legion veterans and minor god and spirits, complete with a senate house, a forum, a coliseum and a hippodrome. There is also a capitoline hill covered with temples to the Roman forms of the gods.
