CURU'LIS. An epithet very generally applied to anything relation to a chariot (currus); as equus curulis, a carriage horse (Festus, s. v.); triumphus curulis, a regular triumph, in contradistinction to an ovation, because at the former the general entered the city on a car, but at the latter on foot or on horseback (Suet. Aug. 22. Compare Tit. 9.); ludi curules, the Cicernsian games, at which the chariot races took place (Minucius Felix, 37.); sella curulis, a portable chair which the magistrates of Rome carried about with them; described and illustrated under SELLA.
