Kerameia, or Per-Montu-Nebmaten in ancient Egyptian (transliteration: pr-mnṯ-nb-mꜢtn, meaning: "House of Montu, Lord of Maten"), is an ancient Egyptian city on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt. It was governed under Waset, the fourth nome of Upper Egypt. The ancient site is located at the modern town of Nag el-Madamud. A temple dedicated to the regional war-god Montu dating to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods still stands on the site.
