从考古发掘中推断出的柱子定向倒塌、大规模破坏碎片和该地区的暂时废弃为希腊帕特雷的一次大地震(强度IX)提供了证据。这一点,以及可能的一系列其他地震,可以从考古数据中得出。这些地震不包括在历史地震活动目录中,但可以用来限制这个城市的地震风险。帕特雷在1714年至1806年期间受到一系列记录不全的地震的影响。这座城市似乎面临着一个主要的走滑断层逐渐复活的风险。2008年的一次6.4级地震与此有关,在过去20年里,该断层还与总共四次地震有关,这种情况让人想起北安纳托利亚断层西缘的地震危险。
Oriented collapse of columns, large-scale destruction debris and temporary abandonment of the area deduced from an archaeological excavation provide evidence for a major (intensity IX) earthquake in Patras, Greece. This, and possibly a cluster of other earthquakes, can be derived from archaeological data. These earthquakes are not included in the historical seismicity catalogues, but can be used to put constraints to the seismic risk of this city. Patras was affected by a cluster of poorly documented earthquakes between 1714 and 1806. The city seems to be exposed to risks of progressive reactivation of a major strike-slip fault. A magnitude 6.4 earthquake in 2008 has been related to it. This fault has also been associated with a total of four events in the last 20 years, a situation reminiscent of the seismic hazard at the western edge of the North Anatolian Fault.
