The results of Monte Carlo simulations of weakly magnetized, relativistic thermal plasmas are reported, including such physical processes as thermal synchrotron emission and absorption, bremsstrahlung, and Compton scattering, as well as pair-annihilation and pair-production. The rates of the latter two processes are kept approximately equal to each other, i.e., the plasmas are in pair equilibrium. The resulting spectra are of power-law form, and can be well described by a set of simple analytical formulae. Neither a pair annihilation feature nor a Wien hump is seen in the spectra. The possible relevance of the results to active galactic nuclei and gamma-bursts is discussed.
