&lt;div&gt;about the rheology of the mantle and the history of ice melting since the Last&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Glacial Maximum. Here we employ different viscosity profiles in the range of 0.4 x&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Pleistocene ice sheets chronologies to interpret relative sea level (RSL)&amp;nbsp;observations collected along the Tyrrhenian coasts. Neglecting the tectonic&amp;nbsp;contributions to sea level variations and supposing a laterally uniform rheology, in&amp;nbsp;these regions, RSL curves depart from eustasy mainly because of the effects of&amp;nbsp;melt water loading, responsible for a widespread subsidence reaching its largest&amp;nbsp;amplitude in the bulk of the basin. We reassess the importance of archaeological&amp;nbsp;sea level indicators along the Tyrrhenian coasts of Italy (Lazio, Italy), recently&amp;nbsp;revisited within the European COST Action ES0701. It appears that the local sea level&amp;nbsp;rise since 2000 y ears ago can be estimated of the order of about half a meter,&amp;nbsp;that agrees with the classical literature about this topic, rather than ~1.35 m, as&amp;nbsp;recently proposed. The mismatch between observations from field data and model&amp;nbsp;predictions can be partly attributed to the poor knowledge of the visco-elastic&amp;nbsp;property of the mantle and to uncertainties of the details of the melting history. By&amp;nbsp;forward modelling based on a modified ICE5G chronology, and using data from&amp;nbsp;Tyrrhenian coast of Italy and SE Tunisia, we also evaluate the effects of a melt water&amp;nbsp;pulse of the history of RSL, according to distinct assumptions about its origin&lt;/div&gt;
