Chazal were not as interested in dates in History as Historians were.

The Torah is known to write things out of order (Like Avraham dying before Yaakov was born) and Stories in the Gemorah also are chronologically incorrect Like the Story of the 10 martyrs. Rabbi Yishmoel was a Cohen Gadol in the Beis Hamingdosh and Rabbi Akiva participated in the Bar Kochba Rebellion, they didnt live in the same generation.
