I was reading a few days ago about the "generations of the sages".  It appears they grouped them as to their status and instruction. In other words,  generations of rulers within a time period which they set law. These generations lasted the duration of their rule over the people. Until a new generation arose. Some quotes from The Jewish encyclopedia.

The Zugot (pairs)

"Name given to the leading teachers of the Law in the time preceding the Tannaim. The period of the Zugot begins with Jose b. Joezer and ends with Hillel. The name "Zugot" (comp. Latin "duumviri") was given to these teachers because, according to the tradition in Ḥagigah, two of them always stood at the same time at the head of the Sanhedrin, one as president ("nasi") and the other as vice-president or father of the court ("ab bet din"; see Sanhedrin). There were five pairs of these teachers:"

This "era" (that generation lasted from)

"(1) Jose b. Joezer and Jose b. Johanan, who flourished at the time of the Maccabean wars of independence; (2) Joshua b. Peraḥyah and Nittai of Arbela, at the time of John Hyrcanus; (3) Judah b. Ṭabbai and Simeon b. Sheṭaḥ, at the time of Alexander Jannæus and Queen Salome; (4) Shemaiah and Abtalion, at the time of Hyrcanus II.; (5) Hillel and Shammai, at the time of King Herod."

So, we see 5 generations of in this era. were of the age . From the Maccabees until king Herod.

It just gave me pause for consideration of the meaning of Jesus words concerning "this generation".  And maybe even how we see the book of revelation.

See again how they speak of this. Some quotes from the Jewish encyclopedia concerning the successive generation of rulers. Called Tannaim (to teach)

""tanna" is derived from the Aramaic "teni" or "tena" (="to teach"), and designates in general a teacher of the oral law, and in particular one of the sages of the Mishnah, those teachers of the oral law whose teachings are contained in the Mishnah and in the Baraita." 

Distinguishing generations and their authority (or chain of authority?)

"Not all the teachers of the oral law who are mentioned in the Mishnah are called tannaim, however, but only those belonging to the period beginning with the disciples of Shammai and Hillel and ending with the contemporaries of Judah ha-Nasi I."

"The period of the Tannaim, which lasted about 210 years (10-220 C.E.), is generally divided by Jewish scholars into five or six sections or generations, the purpose of such division being to show which teachers developed their principal activity contemporaneously. Some of the tannaim, however, were active in more than one generation."

So it appears these generations may have overlapped. But indeed they were referred to as "generations"
