Abstract: Hawkes-based microstructural foundations for rough volatility, leverage, and rough Heston-type limits were developed by El Euch et al. (2018, Finance Stoch., 22(2), 241--280) and connected to the affine rough Heston framework of El Euch and Rosenbaum (2019, Math. Finance, 29(1), 3--38). The rough Hawkes--Heston model with common price--volatility jumps of Bondi et al. (2024, Math. Finance, 34(4), 1197--1241) extends this framework by adding state-dependent common jumps to rough affine volatility. We provide a microstructural foundation for its variance and common-jump mechanism by constructing a Poisson-embedded marked Hawkes order-flow model. Ordinary arrivals generate rough continuous volatility and leverage through a nearly unstable heavy-tailed Hawkes mechanism, while rare marked arrivals represent common shock events that produce simultaneous price jumps and volatility excitation. Under the nearly unstable scaling and the reduced-form admissibility conditions, the complete rescaled price/variance/jump system converges along the full sequence to the unique complete canonical rough Hawkes--Heston weak solution. The Hawkes renewal structure yields a Mittag--Leffler Volterra representation, which is then rewritten in Riemann--Liouville fractional form. The limiting coefficients are expressed explicitly in terms of the microscopic parameters. The construction provides a microstructural foundation for the variance and common-jump mechanism of the rough Hawkes--Heston model. Numerical experiments illustrate the convergence of our microstructural foundation to the rough Hawkes-Heston model.
