Daniel 8:3

[Dan now sees a vision of a ram and a goat. A little later, an angel explains the vision to Dan. The ram with two horns symbolizes the Medo-Persian Empire, see Dan. 8:20. A fitting image. The Greek historian Ammianus Marcellinus describes how the Persian commander wore a golden ram's head when he led the army.]
I looked up and saw a ram with two horns standing by the canal. It had two long horns [representing Media and Persia]. One horn was longer (higher) than the other, and the longest grew last. [The Persians eventually became the dominant nation in this alliance. This detail also corresponds with the image of the bear "rising up on one side," see Dan. 7:5.]
