All I see is a question mark icon, but I know what I would have posted for 727.

But, for 728 - the Lombard King Liutprand gave parts of Latium to the papacy, more or less creating the Papal States.

If you're in the mood, with enough money and time on your hands, AND you happen to be in Königs-Wusterhausen near Berlin, you may want to take the bus line 735, 7 min before 7:35 a. m. on a Saturday, have yourself driven to Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport (BER) and take flight Tr 735 (operated by Scoot; you'll have to hurry, though, as it leaves two hours after 7:35 a. m.) and fly to Singapore. Arriving three hours and 25 min before 7:35 a. m. local time, you'd have ample time to take a taxi (not a bus 735 though; that has been dicontinued), have yourself driven to the, say Pan Pacific Singapore, drop your bags in room 735, and have a seat in the panaramic restaurant to enjoy breakfast and local sunrise long before 7:35 a. m.

Mactep?

I think one is the only non-negative integer score that is not possible :)

In the year 736, Charles Martel defeated Muslim forces in multiple locations in southern France.

Oh well played.

In 738 AD Uqba ibn Al-Hajjaj and his lads rage across southern France with the odd chevauchee into central France. "France" in the geographical sense.

Well I'd need to do that in reverse. Or are you doing that?

In addition to the 735 bus being discontinued, it also didn't go anywhere near the airport.

SQ 739 from Phuket to Singapore is expected to arrive in less than one hour, but it has been delayed by 24 minutes.

So I guess "prime-ish" means "not price"?

743 is prime.

Prime adjacent-ish.

744 is equally prime adjacent-ish.

Local farm colloquialism. 'That's prime' vs 'oh, that's chaff'. Was responding to the previous posts. :)

Ah, and all becomes clear.

Ducati 748 was a real weapon, which is why it killed so many middle aged men who bought them having not ridden bikes for years.

You people have no respect for the obsessively compulsively inclined. Now I have to get us caught up.

The year 749 started on a Wednesday in the Julian calendar.

Gold jewellery stamped with 750 is three-fourths gold, or 18 karat.
