Cyriacus the Elder (Amathian: Ⰽⱏⰹⱃⰹⰰⰽⱆⱄ ⰽⰵⰾ Ⰱⱐⱅⱃⰻⱀ tr., Cyriacus cel Bătrân; Solarian: Flavius Cyriacus Caedonius), was the last military governor of the Solarian province of Amathia, and the first ruler of the Solarian rump state known as the Empire of Arciluco. He was born in the capital of Solaria and moved with his family to Arciluco when his father was named as the new Dux of the province by one of the last Solarian Emperors. After the death of his father in 418, due to the communications with the capital having been already disturbed by barbarian raids, he took over the position.
Under his rule, the territories led from Arciluco managed to retain a certain degree of Solarian authority, repelling several barbarian incursions and defending Arciluco against several sieges. Following a brilliant policy of diplomacy and military force, Cyriacus is credited with saving his realm - a realm that outlived the fall of the empire itself. After news of the Fall of Solaria reached Arciluco, he was proclaimed Emperor by his soldiers, although historians still disagree about whether he used that title or not, as very few evidence from that period has survived.
