This is exactly the kind of information I was after - thank you for directing me to use the wonderful search function at Virgil.org - and every other resource at that site.
I am only beginning my study of Virgil, so your pointers were invaluable.

Juno's currus, which she keeps at Carthage, is mentioned in Aen. 1.17

The details about Neptune--his imperium and equi--come from Aen. 1 as well, beginning in line 125.

The phrase comes from Aen. 1.66.
