Khosrow II Parviz
570 CE–628 CE · Ctesiphon
Khosrow II Parviz (reigned c. 590–628 CE) was the last great Sasanian king. His armies overran Byzantine Syria, Egypt, and Jerusalem, briefly bringing the empire to its widest extent since the Achaemenids, before the emperor Heraclius counterattacked and reversed his gains. Overthrown and executed in 628, his fall left the exhausted empire weakened on the eve of the Arab-Muslim conquest.
