The Byzantine elite had money for gold jewelry, luxurious palaces, luxurious clothing, and other forms of hedonism.Byzantium didnt have the money to buy cannons and it wouldnt make sense for a citystate to buy siege equipment that wasnt effective at defending their city.
Byzantium was literally richer than any country in Western Europe, and Constantinople was richer than any European capital, yet they had no money to buy weapons. I believe it very much.
