AHC have the easern Romans institute reforms early

In otl during the latter years of Roman rule in Constantinople the people fearing for their lives built hostels, hospitals, maternity wards and crested the idea o giving your wealth tithe poor. So your challenge is to have the reforms be passed three centuries earlier by 1000A.D is it possible or not.
 
Have the Arabs capture Constnationaple in the 8th Century, but have them immediately rebuffed and the Eastern Romans learn from their mistakes. They see malnutrition as a cause of initial defeat. They see income disparity as a reason why all citizens were not willing to fight as well. So they make these changes and vow never again, shall Constantinople fall.
