'''25/16''', the '''classic(al) augmented fifth''' or '''diptolemaic augmented fifth''' is the interval obtained by stacking two [[5/4]] major thirds, however, it gains additional [[isoharmonic chord|isoharmonic]] identity from its position between [[11/8]] and [[7/4]], so it can frequently be used in conjunction with those, even in chords. It is [[100/99]] sharp of [[99/64]], and tempering out 100/99 makes 1-5/4-25/16 into the [[ptolemismic chords|ptolemismic augmented triad]].

While this interval has been referred to as the ''classic'' or ''classical'' augmented fifth for some time, the term "diptolemaic" [https://discord.com/channels/332357996569034752/516067802864549890/912167264789364736 was coined on Discord] by [[Flora Canou]] while discussing a proposal for a consistent naming scheme for different 5-limit intervals with [[User:Aura|Aura]].
