Abstract
A re-appraisal of the seismicity of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East during in 550-1 BC shows that although the historical record is very incomplete, analysis of the original sources, as opposed to reliance on secondary works, can provide valuable insights into the long-term seismicity of that region. Although this method has resulted in the rejection of some events noted in previous catalogues, the end-product should be a more reliable seismic record.Keywords
