Oh this is hard. Both of these guys are awesome and I love their home's history.

The things going for the Greeks-Use of Magic/magical abilities are more commmon,allied with magic nature spirits who usually have your back, better solo training, allied with the hunting pack of a Goddess, Gods help out more often.

Things going for the Romans- Giant army with basically unlimited funds (bought a missile that could blow up all of camp half-blood and most likely the area around it), retirement in a city with everything you most likely need and a standing army to protect you from supernatural forces that most likely want to either eat you/kill you for sport/make you a slave/rape you or all of the above, have contacts all across America.

Cons of the Greeks- You are most likely gonna die Young (since how many adult Greek demigods have we met met in the books? Only one. How many happy adult demigods 0) and unless you have a godly or insanely powerful being as your patron then you are never truly safe from monsters that want to do all the things I wrote before.

Cons of the Romans- Politics, have pretty much 0 nonhuman (You know what I mean) allies, not really respected if you can't use a gladius and shield, Cohort's are not really treated equally, and the Gods rarely help.

If you want a short life of adventure, magical wonder, a chance to meet Gods and mostly like a dying in a blazing battle of the death against monster. Admittedly you have a chance to go to paradise but you have to do something really heroic.

If you like a most likely longer life with a military career fight with an army of demigods/legacies and be able to go to college (not really an option for a lot of Greek demigods) and have the chance to have a family then you most likely want the Romans.

The logical side of me would pick the Romans but the hero in me would choose the Greeks
