Summary/Abstract: In the present work, homo constantissimus (the most constant man) is seen as a juridical model with ethical roots. Its significance and use were traced in legal and rhetorical texts from the Pre-classical and Classical periods. Its meaning is juxtaposed with the brave man of the Nicomachean Ethics, as well as with similar medieval and modern legal-ethical categories. In this way, essential conclusions are reached about its meaning in the construction of legal concepts in antiquity and today, as well as about the changes that have occurred in its semantic content.
