Rhamnous (Ancient Greek: Ῥαμνοῦς, romanized: Rhamnoûs; Modern Greek: Ραμνούς, romanized: Ramnoús), also Ramnous or Rhamnus, was an ancient Greek city in Attica situated on the coast, overlooking the Euboean Strait. Its ruins lie northwest of the modern town of Agia Marina in the municipality of Marathon.
The site was best known in antiquity for its sanctuary of Nemesis, the implacable avenging goddess, her most important in ancient Greece.
Rhamnous is the best-preserved Attic deme site. It was strategically significant on the sea routes and was fortified with an Athenian garrison of ephebes (young men). A fortified acropolis dominates the two small harbours located on either side of it which have silted up extensively since antiquity, and into which grain was imported for Athens during the Peloponnesian War.
It derived its name from Buckthorn, a thick prickly shrub, which still grows upon the site.
Rhamnus or Rhamnous (Ancient Greek: Ῥαμνοῦς) was a harbour on the west coast of ancient Crete near the promontory Chersonesus. Pliny the Elder, on the contrary, places it in the interior of the island. The site of Rhamnus is located at Ormos Stomiou.
