Historical seismicity | The historical record of ca. pre-XXth century earthquakes that have been parameterized in specific historical catalogues. Most sizable seismic events have caused a number of effects including socio-economic impact on the local to national fabric to the point of being accounted for in numerous historical sources of diverse origin language and reliability. The more backward complete – and reliable – a catalogue of historical seismicity is the broader and more robust information we can get concerning recurring earthquakes and maximum expected magnitudes.
