Daniel 2
32
The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,
33
its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.
(New International Version translation)
This is the dream that king Nebuchadnezzar saw and according to the Bible it was later interpreted by god itself, and with the historical facts kept in mind it's concluded that:
1- The head of gold represents the Babylonian kingdom
2- the chest and arms of silver represent Persia,
3- The belly and thighs of bronz represent the Greks
4- The legs of iron represent Roman Empire,
5- The "feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay" apart and believe it represented the European Union.

And some believe 5- represented the Roman Empire divided into 10 nations of which 3 disappeared in time:
The Roman Empire divided in ten parts:
1. The Saxons, originating the English nation.
2. The Franks, originating the French nation.
3. The Alamanni, originating the German nation.
4. The Visigoths, originating the Spanish nation.
5. The Suevi, originating the Portuguese nation.
6. The Lombards, originating the Italian nation.
7. The Burgundians, originating the Swiss nation.
8. The Heruli, who have since disappeared.
9. The Vandals, who have since disappeared.
10. The Ostrogoths, who have since disappeared.
