Plotius Pegasus was a Roman jurist and administrator of the Flavian period. He governed the province of Dalmatia from around 70 to 73 AD and served as suffect consul in that period alongside Lucius Cornelius Pusio Annius Messalla, and after Domitian became emperor he was appointed urban prefect of Rome, one of the highest offices open to a senator. He headed the Proculian school of law and was praised in his own lifetime as a jurist of glorious memory, a walking encyclopaedia, though none of his legal writings themselves survive; he is remembered through the Senatus Consultum Pegasianum, a piece of inheritance legislation that bears his name.
