The Ten Kings from Rome

Commentators widely agree that the "ten horns" or "ten kings" represent the various kingdoms that emerged from the breakup of the Roman Empire around the 5th century A.D. Scholars like John Gill cite historical lists that include groups like the Goths, Vandals, Franks, and Saxons, showing how this prophecy is seen as fulfilled in the political landscape of post-Roman Europe.
