In 23/22 BC, Marcus Appuleius was a legate at Tridentum.[4] He was next elected consul in 20 BC, while Augustus was away from Rome. Unlike the elections of 21 BC and 19 BC, these were not interrupted by electoral discord.[5]
There is no record of him taking any other post after his consulship. It has therefore been speculated that Marcus Appuleius died sometime shortly after his consulship, and definitely by the time that Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa had died in 12 BC, as Appuleius' brother Sextus Appuleius, the consul of 29 BC, was present at the funeral, but Marcus was not.[6]
