Also someone just popped this onto our Discord, supposedly a reenacment of a Byzantian anti cav formationpic.twitter.com/xvl3SvIDMZ
Seeking authority here.
Without a clear primary source attestation, I'd be cautious about using reenactors as evidence. In this case for instance, this 'Byzantine' formation is equipped with a mix of high imperial and late imperial Roman kit, most of which is clearly wrong.

The shields alone run about five centuries of shield design. Some of those fellows have pila instead of spears, and the back rank guy in the foreground has a Gallic-style mail shirt (with shoulder-doubles) which would have been out of date by the late first century AD.

Oh, and the fellow in the middle is wearing the Lorica Segmentata, which has pretty much vanished by the fourth century, much less the byzantine period.
