the ten horns: The ten kingdoms into which the western Roman empire was divided; which were primarily, according to Machiavel and Bp. Lloyd:

1. The Huns in Hungary 356 2. The Ostrogoths in Moesia 377 3. The Visigoths in Pannonia 378 4. The Sueves and Alans in Gascoigne and Spain 407 5. The Vandals in Africa 407 6. The Franks in France 407 7. The Burgundians in Burgundy 407 8. The Heruli and Turingi in Italy 476 9. The Saxons and Angles in Britain 476 10. The Lombards, first upon the Danube, and afterwards in Italy 526

Though the ten kingdoms differed from these in later periods, and were sometimes more or less, yet they were still known by that name. Daniel 7:8, Daniel 7:11, Daniel 7:23, Daniel 8:9-11

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And of the ten horns,.... That is, Daniel desired to know the truth of the ten horns, or the meaning of them what they signified, and who they pointed at, of which in Daniel 7:7, here it is added,

that were in his head; observing the situation of them; thought the horns of a beast could hardly be thought to be elsewhere:

and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; particularly he was very desirous to know the meaning of a single horn, which rose up among the rest, and before which three of the other horns fell, being plucked up by the roots:

even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things: Daniel 7:7- ::

whose look was more stout than his fellows; than the other beasts, or rather than the other horns; either than his fellow bishops, claiming an authority over them, as being universal bishop; or than the kings and princes of the earth, setting up himself above all that is called god, emperors and kings; taking to himself all power in heaven and in earth; a power to depose kings, and absolve their subjects from allegiance to them, and even over the consciences of men; so that his look is more bold and impudent than others, as well as more fierce and terrible, threatening kings and kingdoms with his bulls, anathemas, and interdicts: or, "whose appearance is greater than his fellows" i; in pomp and splendour, making a greater show and figure than the kings of the earth, and claiming a superiority over them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And of the ten horns ... - See the notes at Daniel 7:7-8.

Whose look was more stout than his fellows - literally, “whose aspect was greater than that of its companions.” This does not mean that its look or aspect was more fierce or severe than that of the others, but that the appearance of the horn was greater - רב rab. In Daniel 7:8, this is described as a “little horn;” and to understand this, and reconcile the two, we must suppose that the seer watched this as it grew until it became the largest of the number. Three fell before it, and it outgrew in size all the others until it became the most prominent. This would clearly denote that the kingdom or the authority referred to by this eleventh horn would be more distinct and prominent than either of the others - would become so conspicuous and important as in fact to concentrate and embody all the power of the beast.
