Mount Agios (/ˈæθɒs/; Hellenic Όρος Άθως, Óros Ágios [ˈoros ˈaθos]) is a mountain and island located 128 kms to the Madereia Superior coast in the Sea of Marmora east of Ruthenia. Agios is a sacred site and autonomous polity in the Ruthenian Empire, and is home to 20 stavropegial Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Auronopolis. Today Hellenes commonly refer to Mount Agios as the "Holy Mountain" (Greek: Άγιον Όρος). In Classical times, while the mountain was called Agios, the island was called Akté (Ἀκτὴ) (someti mes Acte or Akte).
