Sextus Appuleius (III)
Sextus Appuleius (III) was the son of Sextus Appuleius (II) and Quinctilia. This Sextus Appuleius (III) was also a half-great-nephew of Augustus via his father.
His career is largely unknown, except that he became ordinary consul in the year 14.
It was during his consulship in 14, that his half-great-uncle, Augustus, died and was succeeded by Tiberius. Appuleius was the first to swear allegiance to Tiberius.
He was married to Fabia Numantina, a daughter of either Africanus Fabius Maximus, or Paullus Fabius Maximus and Marcia, a maternal cousin of Augustus.
Appuleius and Fabia had one son, also named Sextus Appuleius (IV).
It is assumed he died not long after 14 because he is not mentioned subsequent to his consulship.
