About Sextus Appuleius II, Consul (29 BC)

Sextus Appuleius II

Sextus Appuleius II was son of the above 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 very close to 60 BC.

This Sextus Appuleius achieved a number of notable offices during the regime 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 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 likely that this Sextus Appuleius, and not his father, was Flamen Iulialis. It is also just possible that the son succeeded the father to the post (as did the father and son Lentulus Maluginensis to the post of Flamen Dialis.

It has been proposed that the middle-aged flamen on the Ara Pacis is this Sextus Appuleius in his role as Flamen Iulialis.

According to an inscription in the province of Asia, he had married a woman named Quinctilia, who was a sister to the Roman politician and general, Publius Quinctilius Varus. By her, he had a son, also named Sextus Appuleius (III).

The date of his death is unknown.
