The Roman Gods reflected the Greek Gods stories with different Latin names. Therefore they used Olympus/Olympia as their home. However, the Roman nation also needed a more potent image of themselves and adopted the tale of the twins Romulus and Remus to show that Rome itself was in itself somewhat infinite. Try the article below for some great reading:

In a variety of locales. As the Roman Empire expanded, it absorbed religious ideas from a number of tributary cultures--especially Greek, North African, and Egyptian ideas--and syncretically fused them in its own religious system.

Most Roman gods and goddesses, as a result, were cthonic (that is to say, they lived in and on the Earth) and many were also autochthonous (there was a different Isis in Rome than in Thebes; there were Jupiters in different places, each unique to the place). The Roman pantheon, like all Hellenistic-derived pantheons, was a fusion of Sky-Gods rooted in the celestial perspective (the earlier discovery in the Third Millennium BCE of astrologicall procession) with Earth-Goddesses rooted in the cthonic perspective (the much earlier worship of pastoralist and agriculturalist and even hunter-gatherer goddesses of the Earth).

So some lived on Earth, others in the Sky, and some in the Sea. There was not one centralized domain of all the gods, not even on the level of Greek Olympianism.

Hope this helps.

Never gave it much thought, the only one I cared for was Bacchus-sic-the god of wine and merriment. And he was in the wine vat.
