Year 724 (DCCXXIV) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar, the 724th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 724th year of the 1st millennium, the 24th year of the 8th century, and the 5th year of the 720s decade. The denomination 724 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
