My suffix is indeed abaft.

And matching, as on such a craft,
my prefix is in front indeed,

both of themselves bereft, pay heed!

My infix, but you need to mix,
is IVLIA to 666.

I hesitantly postulate you are

My suffix is indeed abaft.
  And matching, as on such a craft,
  my prefix is in front indeed,
  both of themselves bereft, pay heed!

My infix, but you need to mix,
  is Iulia to 666.

I think that you might be:

My suffix is indeed abaft.
And matching, as on such a craft,
my prefix is in front indeed,
both of themselves bereft, pay heed!

My infix, but you need to mix,
is Iulia to 666.

I'm not clear on the exact meaning of this, but the gist is close enough for it to mean

This whole my whole builds like a song
and you have used me all along.

A very, very clever puzzle. Thank you for this one.
