The (whole) tone as an interval measure was already known in Ancient Greece. {{w|Aristoxenus}} (fl. 335 BC) defined the tone as the difference between the [[3/2|just fifth (3/2)]] and the [[4/3|just fourth (4/3)]]. From this base size, he derived the size of other intervals as multiples or fractions of the tone, so for instance the just fourth was 2½ tones in size. | The (whole) tone as an interval measure was already known in Ancient Greece. {{w|Aristoxenus}} (fl. 335 BC) defined the tone as the difference between the [[3/2|just fifth (3/2)]] and the [[4/3|just fourth (4/3)]].
