In light of recent interest in the identification of children and prominent adults in the exterior processional friezes of the Ara Pacis, old evidence is re-examined and new arguments are offered regarding these figures. The old identifications of two children in the south frieze as Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus (cos. A. D. 32 and future father of Nero) and his sister Domitia are defended. The Flamen Iulialis in the south frieze is seen not as Sextus Appuleius, husband of Augustus' older half-sister Octavia Maior, but as his son Sextus (cos. 29 B. C.). New suggestions are also offered as to the location in the friezes of the elder Sextus Appuleius, Octavia Maior and their younger son Marcus Appuleius, as well as the consul of 13 B. C., Publius Quinctilius Varus, who was the son-in-law of Agrippa and brother-in-law of Tiberius
