Sambice (Greek: Σαμβίκη) was a late 5th-century Iranian noblewoman from the Sasanian dynasty, who was the sister-wife of king (shah) Kavad I (r. 488–496, 498–531) and mother of his first son, Kawus.[1] Perhaps she can be associated with the wife (or sister) of Kavad I who helped him escape from captivity in the Castle of Oblivion in 496.[1]
