Accepted Answer

Having the same age or lasting the same amount of time; contemporary. Coeval usually describes things that existed together for a very long time or that originated at the same time in the distant past. Thus, astronomers might speak of one galaxy as being coeval with another, and a period in the history of one civilization might be coeval with a similar period in another. As a noun, however, coeval may describe people as well; so, for example, two artists who lived and worked at the same time might be described as coevals
