One of this author's works is a description of thirty deceased kinsmen celebrating a certain holiday, while another is a travelogue about 17 towns written in 14 books. This author of Parentalia and Ordo Urbium Nobilium was appointed to be the tutor of Gratian, and works in his collected Idyllia include a poem to his captive Bissula and a work composed of lines of Vergil, the Cento Nuptialis. This author wrote a series of epigrams describing the quality of Myron's bronze cow, but this author is perhaps best known for a poem about the loveliness of a certain French River. For 10 points, identify this author of a poem addressed to the (*) Moselle River, a writer from Bordeaux who was probably the greatest 4th century Roman poet.
