Raiders of the Nile is a novel by American author Steven Saylor, first published by Minotaur Books in 2014.

It is the fourteenth book in his Roma Sub Rosa series of mystery stories set in the final decades of the Roman Republic, but the second chronologically.

When Bethesda disappears, he learns that she has been kidnapped by bandits, and must set out on a dangerous journey into the Nile Delta, accompanied only by the young slave boy Djet.

And must go with them back to Alexandria to help Artemon steal the golden sarcophagus of Alexander the Great while the city is erupting in violence around them.

Writing in USA Today, Robert Bianco found the book to be an “exuberantly entertaining prequel” adding that “young or old, Gordianus remains one of modern fiction's most humanely complex detective creations”, and concluding “this is a raid we can all enjoy”.
