Nike daughter of Shahrbaraz

Niketas was a 7th-century Byzantine officer. He was the son and heir of the Sassanid Persian general and briefly shahanshah, Shahrbaraz. After the Byzantine–Sassanid War of 602–628, Shahrbaraz remained in control of Egypt and the Levant lands, until in early 629 he handed them back to the Byzantine emperor Heraclius in exchange for Byzantine support in his own bid for the Persian throne.

To conclude the pact, Niketas, who was recognized as Shahrbaraz' heir by Heraclius, was given the Byzantine rank of patrikios, while his sister Nike was married to Theodosios, one of Heraclius' sons.
