The Legs of Iron are not Rome. Rome has come and gone, and it will never be revived, and if it’s any consolation, the European Union is breaking apart. Rome (just like that of the American/Anglo World Power of today) is just another fragment of Greece. Today, we are ruled by the "Descendants/Posterity (Aharit) of the Four Generals" that came after Alexander.
Firstly, there are no 70 Weeks of Years with a break in between until the Last Week (so called), this is a False Teaching. There are only 70 literal weeks (490 literal days) before the Great Tribulation begins. Everything we are experiencing now will just go from bad to worse, until everything we are experiencing will be pandemic and the Nations don't know the way out (Luke 21:25-28).
Greece (the West) will collapse after the coming war between Greece (the West) and Iran. There will no Pensions, no Social Security, no Support Services, there will be nothing. Everything is going to go. We see this collapse happening as we speak. This is not speculation, and nor is the war with Iran. Its going to happen. With the coming New Middle Eastern Based World Empire, there will also be a New System of Trade.
But, for now, we are not in the Time of the End, Greece still rules. The Legs of Iron will be a Middle Eastern Based Empire (the Final One before God's [Yahweh's] Kingdom comes.
It will be an Empire dominated by Egypt and Assyria, and there will be wars and conflicts between these two Kings until the Assyrian (the Antichrist) eventually becomes the most dominant. Assyria is the Land that was, is not, and yet to rise again (before it goes into destruction). Perhaps these wars and conflicts are the "Wars" and "Rumours of Wars" are the ones Christ spoke of, Wars occurring in the Middle East.
All other Nations will be folded into this Kingdom on the collapse of Greece. Before that collapse, Greece will meet the Ram of the East (Modern Day Iran) and Greece will rise up from "the Whole World" to come against the Ram.
Greece will be successful, but for a while only, and then it will fall. Daniel tells us that Greece will be then divided in to four, out of which one will arise that will [crush] and [trample] down that of the other three.
The 10 toes at the end of those legs are 10 Kings that immediately surround Israel (Psalms 83:6-8) and who will give their power to the 11th coming after them to rule supremely (Daniel 7:24, Revelation 17:12-13), but only immediately before the Day of Yahweh begins.
While this Final 4th Beast [Empire] will be destroyed, Daniel tells us that life will be extended to that of the other three when they will be absorbed into that of God's Kingdom (Daniel 7:11-12).
There will be only three Kings of the North (Assyria) during the Time of that Reign of the 4th and Final (Iron Legged) World Empire. While the Reign of the 1st King is not known (Daniel 11:5-19), the 2nd lasts for a few days only (Daniel 11:20) and the 3rd from (Daniel 11:21-45) with his Reign of hell from (Daniel 11:36-45).
The 3rd and Final King of the North/Babylon/Assyria is not King when he comes into Israel. When he comes, he only sets up the Abomination, and then his persecution begins. The 10 Kings give him power to rule at the very end (the Final Hour), when he will proclaim himself God, and call out Peace and Security, then the destruction begins.
If the coming war with Iran will be the one as described in Daniel 8:5, 8, 11:2-4, the west will collapse not long afterwards, and then the Middle East will crush the rest of the Nations on its rise, with Egypt coming powerful first.
If this is so, and the above is true, and we are in this time period of the war of Daniels vision as depicted in Daniel 8:5, 8, 11:2-4, this is what we are to expect, then the consummation of all things should be in about 70 years time.
