Sextus Appuleius (II) was the son of Sextus Appuleius (I) and «u»Octavia Major «/u», the elder half-sister of «u»Augustus «/u». 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 «u»Augustus «/u» 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 «u»Roman Triumph «/u» in January of 26 BC .
He seems also to have served as governor of Illyricum in 8 BC, succeeding «u»Tiberius «/u» 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 «i»Flamen Iulialis«/i» .
According to an inscription in the province of Asia«u»[13]«/u», he was married to a woman named «u»Quinctilia«/u», who was a sister to the Roman politician and general, «u»Publius Quinctilius Varus «/u» . By her, he had two known children, a son, also named Sextus Appuleius (III) and a daughter named «u»Appuleia Varilla «/u»
It has been proposed that the middle-aged flamen on the Ara Pacis is this Sextus Appuleius in his role as «i»Flamen Iulialis«u»«/i»<http://bib18.ulb.ac.be/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/shu013&CISOPTR=513&REC=12>«/u».
The date of his death is unknown.
