Having qualities resembling or reminiscent of Byzantine style, culture, or characteristics.
From 'Byzantine' with the '-esque' suffix (from Italian 'esco,' meaning 'somewhat' or 'in the manner of'). This creates an adjective meaning 'Byzantine-like' or 'somewhat Byzantine.'
The '-esque' suffix is a sneaky way to say 'kind of' or 'sort of'—'Byzantinesque' is less pure Byzantine than just 'Byzantine,' but has vibes of it, like describing something as 'Shakespearesque' means it's got theatrical flair without actually being Shakespeare!
