Life

Cyriacus was a bishop of Ancona in Italy, martyred under Julian the Apostate in the Holy Land. He is remembered on 4 May in the Western calendar (new style). The source places a question mark on the details.

No other details have been preserved. He is honoured as a saint of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
