Roman Bridge crossing the Mosselle River in Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany)

Hail, O illustrious river! renowned for thy fields and thy farmers!

River that washest the walls of the Belgae’s Imperial city!
River whose ridges are crowned with the vine’s odoriferous clusters!
River whose meadows are clothed by the grass with an emerald verdure!

By roman writer Ausonius
