The Ten Barbarian Nations of the Divided Roman Empire

The historian Machiavel, without the slightest reference to this prophecy [that of Daniel 7], gives the following list of the nations which occupied the territory of the Western Empire at the time of the fall of Romulus Augustulus, the last emperor of Rome.
The Lombards, the Franks, the Burgundians, the Ostrogoths, the Visigoths, the Vandals, the Heruli, the Sueves, the Huns, and the Saxons; ten in all
