Excerpt from Christianity as a World-Power
It is very generally assumed by commentators that we have in the king's huge, composite image a prophecy of successive empires. There is, first of all, Babylon, the head of gold; then the Medes and Persians, the breast and arms of silver; followed by the Macedonian, the belly and thighs of brass and terminating with the Roman, the legs of iron, whose feet are partly iron and partly clay. F requently has it been brought to the attention of students that the description of Rome is very fine and very pertinent. As a world-power she trampled down all opposers, and was utterly ruthless and merciless; while ultimately she undermined her own stability by dividing into East and West, and by mingling in her population aliens and freedmen, and by blending with her customs and manners the practices and vices of the nations she had conquered. In the words of an old writer, The Syrian Orontes polluted the waters of the Tiber.
