Abstract With the goal of constructing a comprehensive seismic catalogue of earthquakes that exceeded the damage threshold within Rome, we collected all the primary historical sources which describe earthquake-induced effects inside the city, integrating literary documents with both epigraphic and archaeoseismic evidence. This was achieved by examining hundreds of studies involving archaeological excavations performed within the Urbs Aeterna during the past two centuries, searching for clues of a coseismic nature, both explicitly quoted by the authors or not. We also tried to identify the seismogenetic sources of the earthquakes that were responsible for damage in Rome, indicating for each event both the epicentral/site parameters and the affected buildings. Considering the long time-span covered by the sources (ca. 2.5 kyr), our results indicate an overall low level of seismicity for Rome ($$ ext{ Is}<8$$ MCS) which is mainly induced by the periodic rupture of the primary Apennine fault systems located over 80 km away.
