Honestly the Roman camp is a giant plot hole described as “ the gods willed it”. Annabeth lived in Cali for about 2 years and she never stumbled on the biggest grouping of demigods we know of? The Hunters have been active for over 4000 years in that time they never interacted with Roman demigods and Artemis specifically never picked up a female with a drop of Roman blood? Why didn’t they do anything against Atlas during the Titan’s Curse?

Eh oh well. To answer the question tho ehh it is possible that Kronos could of known. Some myths say that Knonos escaped and became Saturn and became the first King of Latium the predessor to rome. I think it was because the Roman would probably prioritize fighting the greatest enemy to the gods right next to their door step ( the mountain is literally a stone throw away from the camp Percy actually passed it short after he left camp Jupiter in SoN) and if we thought about it logically they are easily the biggest threat on the playing field. camp half blood only had around 40 campers the undersea and underworld army were doing they’re own things the gods were occupied and there are only around 20 Hunters. Camp Jupiter had around 250 soldiers plus any veterans they could pull. What he did was probably the smartest thing: storm Olympus which had only 40 teens to defend it while leaving a standing garrison to defend the home land (sorry for the long post lol)
