Sextus Appuleius (II) was the son of Sextus Appuleius (I) and Octavia Major , the elder half-sister of Augustus . The year of his birth is uncertain, but, based the date of his consulship, was probably in the late 60s BC. This Sextus Appuleius achieved a number of notable offices during the reign of his half-uncle. He was ordinary consul with Augustus in 29 BC. He then served as proconsul of Hispania in 28 BC, then as proconsul of Asia 23-22 BC. As a result of some unspecified event during this proconsulship he was granted a Roman Triumph in January of 26 BC . He seems also to have served as governor of Illyricum in 8 BC, succeeding Tiberius in that post. He was a member of the college of augurs . It is possible that it was this Sextus Appuleius, and not his father, who was Flamen Iulialis . According to an inscription in the province of Asia[13], he was married to a woman named Quinctilia, who was a sister to the Roman politician and general, Publius Quinctilius Varus . By her, he had two known children, a son, also named Sextus Appuleius (III) and a daughter named Appuleia Varilla It has been proposed that the middle-aged flamen on the Ara Pacis is this Sextus Appuleius in his role as Flamen Iulialis<http://bib18.ulb.ac.be/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/shu013&CISOPTR=513&REC=12>. The date of his death is unknown.
Sextus married Quinctilia [61254] [MRIN: 551617517].
