§1. The name 'Carouselle' derives from the Curribus solis, Carro del sole, the sun-chariot of the Ancient Romans […]

§2. The 'runners' have to race after rings or impaled heads with their lances, to throw their javelins at them, to shoot at them with pistols or to pick up a head lying on the ground with the sword […]

§3. At carousels one usually aims at displayed Turks’ heads. […]

§7. The leaders of the quadrilles are customarily princes or the most high-ranking officers from the army or civil service. They 'distinguish' themselves by their accoutrements of lances, dress, horses and accompanying pages and lackeys.
