After the signing of the agreement of amicitia between Egypt and Rome in 273 BC, the impact of the former territory on the political, cultural, economic, and religious manifestations of the Mediterranean territories was clear. A good example was the artistic production of the pictorial type ―the picta nilotica―- which began to spread and become accepted in all the Roman territories from early times. This article deals with this topic in a systematic way. First, this figurative theme is introduced by a brief state of the matter, followed by an analysis of 74 cases of Roman Nilotic paintings, considering the context in which they were found, and their functional and symbolic values. The aim is to assess the influence of these paintings on the structuring of public and private spaces. Finally, some of the main results include a few observations on the archaeological contexts examined and an assessment of the value of these images as a representative element of the cultural dynamics in Roman society. Este trabajo se enmarca en una línea de investigación que tiene por objetivo el estudio de las pinturas romanas de tema nilótico en el Mediterráneo entre los siglos I a.C. y VI d.C. Tras la firma en 273 a.C. de la amicitia entre Egipto y Roma, las influencias del primer territorio en las manifestaciones políticas, culturales, económicas y religiosas de los territorios mediterráneos fue evidente. Un claro ejemplo fue la producción artística de tipo pictórico ―los picta nilótica― que comienzan a difundirse y aceptarse en todos los territorios romanos desde tiempos tempranos. En este artículo se aborda este problema de una manera sistemática. En primer lugar, se presenta este tema figurativo con un breve estado de la cuestión, para después analizar 74 casos de pinturas nilóticas romanas, atendiendo a su contexto de hallazgo, sus valores funcionales y simbólicos. El objetivo es verificar hasta qué punto estas pinturas pueden condicionar la estructuración de los espacios públicos y privados. Finalmente, entre los principales resultados destacan algunas reflexiones sobre los contextos arqueológicos examinados y la evaluación de los valores de estas imágenes como elemento representativo de las dinámicas culturales de la sociedad romana.
