Of the same age; living or existing at the same time as something or someone else.
From Latin coaetaneus, combining co- (together) + aetaneus (from aetas meaning 'age'). This scholarly term entered English through medieval Latin and refers to temporal contemporaneity.
Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe were coetanean—they lived in the same era and even shared the London theater scene, which is why historians love comparing their works.
