The Agri is a river in the Basilicata region of southern Italy.[1] In ancient times it was known as Aciris (Ancient Greek: Ἄκιρις, romanized: Akiris).[2][3] The source of the river is in the Lucan Apennines north of Monte Volturino and west of Calvello in the province of Potenza.[4] It is near the source of the Basento. The river flows south near Paterno before curving southeast. It flows near Tramutola, Viggiano, and Grumento Nova before entering a lake. After exiting the lake, the river flows eastward near Armento, Missanello, Aliano, and Sant'Arcangelo. A right tributary, the Racanello, enters the river in this area. The river forms the border between the province of Potenza and the province of Matera for part of this area of the river. It flows into a small lake before entering the province of Matera. The river flows for a short distance before entering Lago di Gannano. After exiting the lake, the river flows southeast near Tursi, Montalbano Jonico, and Scanzano Jonico before flowing into the Gulf of Taranto near Policoro.

[de] Agri (Ionisches Meer)
Der Agri (historischer Name: Aciris[1], Ακύρις) ist ein Fluss in der süditalienischen Region Basilikata und 136 km lang. Er entspringt im Gebirgszug Serra di Calvello bei Marsico Nuovo. Danach fließt er zunächst durch sein bis zu 7 km breites Tal Richtung Osten. Südlich von Montemurro wird er durch einen Damm aufgestaut und bildet dort den Stausee Lago del Pertusillo. Weiter östlich mündet er schließlich bei Scanzano Jonico in das Ionische Meer.- [en] Agri (river)

Template:Fiume. L'Agri (Akiris, Ακύρις in greco antico) è un fiume che scorre interamente in Basilicata e che dà il nome alla valle omonima. È il secondo fiume della regione per lunghezza con 136 km di corso dopo il Basento (149 km), e per ampiezza di bacino con 1 770 km² dopo il Bradano (2 765 km²), ma è il primo per ricchezza d'acqua con una portata media di 20 m³/s. Anticamente era chiamato Aciris, Akiris o Kyris, che in lingua osca significava fiume navigabile: difatti tramanda Strabone che quando le sue sponde erano ricche di boschi il suo alveo era profondo e ciò rendeva il fiume navigabile.[1][ru] Агри (река)
