How could Rome/Byzantium afford to transfer away from the Heavy Infantry core legions of the Republic and Empire to the Hun/Mongol like Cavalry armies of Byzantium

Infantry were cheap and easy to train and produce due to the impressive roman logistics chain while horses and riders were rare as they were expensive and italy wasn't horse country.

so how did Byzantium which is smaller and had less resources than rome afford to train, house, feed, and equip such large primarily horse armies

everyone in that jail walked away happy

Soon after Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in 1972, American historian William Henry Scott was detained as a suspected subversive after soldiers discovered a copy of Mao Zedong’s writings on his shelf, which they presented as evidence of communist sympathies despite his use of the text for teaching Asian history. Zeus Salazar, a Filipino historian, was taken into custody the same year for his active role in the First Quarter Storm and the Diliman Commune, actions the regime labeled as seditiious. 

Scott and Salazar were placed in the same prison cell, where they spent their days arguing over historiography and Philippine colonial history; Scott later recalled these exchanges as “one of the best days of his life,” valuing the chance to converse with fellow anti‑Marcos intellectuals. 

Their debates attracted the attention of fellow detainees such as Butch Dalisay, who later caricatured them in his novel Killing Time in a Warm Place. The jail guards, many of whom were amateur history enthusiasts, became curious about the scholars’ knowledge and asked for lessons; Salazar obliged by delivering informal lectures on Filipino history, encouraging the guards to share their own perspectives on the past. This unusual dynamic turned a cell of detention into an impromptu seminar, illustrating how the desire for historical understanding persisted even under authoritarian repression.
