Gaius Pompeius Planta was a Roman eques who was a close associate of the emperor Trajan. He is best known for being praefectus or governor of Roman Egypt, which he held from 98 to 100 AD. How Planta came to the attention of Trajan is not known. The only other office he is attested as holding is procurator of Lycia et Pamphylia: he is mentioned in an inscription recovered from Balbura that also mentions the contemporary governor, Lucius Luscius Ocrea, allowing us to date his appointment around the years 75–78.

  • Gaius Pompeius Planta (* im 1. Jahrhundert, † im 2. Jahrhundert) war ein römischer Ritter, der im Jahr 69, in dem sogenannten Vierkaiserjahr, als Offizier bei den Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Otho und Vitellius teilgenommen hatte. Unter Vespasian, der sich letztlich als Princeps durchsetzte, diente er frühestens im Jahr 74 als Prokurator in der kaiserlichen Provinz Lycia et Pamphylia. In den Jahren 98 bis 100 wurde er unter dem Kaiser Trajan zum Statthalter der kaiserlichen Provinz Ägypten bestellt. Gaius Pompeius Planta, der eine historische Abhandlung über Vitellius verfasste, stand in einem freundschaftlichen Verhältnis zu Trajan. Das belegt der Briefwechsel, der zwischen Trajan und Plinius geführt wurde. In den Schreiben wurde der Kaiser ersucht, einigen Freigelassenen in Alexandria, die Plinius nahe standen, das Bürgerrecht zu gewähren. Aus dem überlieferten Inhalt weiterer Korrespondenz zwischen Plinius und einem späteren Präfekten von Ägypten, Gaius Vibius Maximus, lässt sich der Tod des Gaius Pompeius Planta zwischen den Jahren 100 bis 110 datieren. Dieser Nachfolger hatte aus nicht mehr bekannten Gründen eine Schrift verfasst, deren Inhalt seinen Amtsvorgänger angreift und diskreditiert. (de)

An inscription found at Syene, modern-day Aswan, mentions Planta and a number of other equestrian officers stationed in Egypt, such as praefectus castrorum Lucius Genucius Priscus. Scholia to Juvenal mentions a history Planta wrote about the Year of Four Emperors, which otherwise is unknown. He is also mentioned a few times in the collected letters of Pliny the Younger, but not in a manner to suggest they were friends. In the series of letters between Pliny and Trajan, there is a group of letters concerning Pliny's efforts to obtain Roman citizenship for his physician Harpocras. At one point Pliny admits while Harpocras has received Roman citizenship, Pliny learns he should have sought Alexandrian citizenship for him first, as Harpocras is a native of Egypt. Trajan replies that it is not fitting for him to grant Alexandrian citizenship, but inform Trajan of which part of Egypt the physician came from, so he can refer the matter to Planta, who was the current prefect of Egypt. Pliny mentions Planta in a letter to one Maximus, who had delivered several speeches against Planta. Pliny is concerned that now that Planta has died, he should hurry to publication those speeches so to avoid the appearance that he was attacking the man when he could defend himself. This is our only clue to when Planta died: A. N. Sherwin-White dates this letter after 100, when Planta stepped down from his appointment, and before 107. (en)
