2520/2519, the platonisma, is a 229-limit superparticular ratio measuring 687 millicents.
2520/2519 frequently arose in Plato's thinking that 5040 is the ideal number of citizens in a city, owing to what would later be known as a highly composite number.
Plato's thinking was that 5040 is divisible by numbers of 1 through 12, except for 11, and two citizens could be temporarily subtracted or rearranged from the city in matters concerning the number 11, since 5038 is divisible by 11. 5040/5038 reduces to 2520/2519.
