Well in Tom Clancy's techno-thriller novel Sum of All Fears,
radical terrorists recover the fissile plutonium from
undetonated atomic bomb, construct a new bomb from it
and plan to use it to blow up an American city. If the
Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes managed to
gather enough fissile material to make an atomic bomb
(which was well within the capabilities of the Byzantines - I
saw it on a History Channel docudrama last night), and
deployed it at the right time, he could definitely won at
Manzikert.
Actually, Denver wasn't blown up. It was nearly blown up and didn't I say
plausibly? By golly, I think I did! A more plausible scenario would be to use the Byzantine catephracts more effectively.
