daniel 8:4 I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no [other] beasts could stand before him, nor was there anyone to rescue from his power; but he did as he pleased and magnified [himself].

4. ram pushing westward--Persia conquered westward Babylon, Mesopotamia, Syria, Asia Minor.
northward--Colchis, Armenia, Iberia, and the dwellers on the Caspian Sea.
