Juno's currus, which she keeps at Carthage, is mentioned in Aen. 1.17 >Neptune - "Hic parentibus clarus Saturno & opi, sextum inter deos locum >possidet, cui teste Virgilio pelagi imperium sorte contigit" and "aureo >curru insidens, iunctis delphinibus eius regno accomodis, quamquam Marro >equos iungat". The details about Neptune--his imperium and equi--come from Aen. 1 as well, beginning in line 125. >Aeolus - "Aetherei Jouis eius tamen imperi concessum est iuxta virgilium et >mulcere fluctus..." The phrase comes from Aen. 1.66.
