Contemporary followers

Hi,

A & B lived in the age C lived in i.e. all three were alive in 550 BC. but both A & B were juniors and younger than C and they also followed him (C) in relation to teachings and doctrine... now can we say:

A & B were contemporary followers of C.

Does the noun phrase "Contemporary followers " make sense?

It seems a little unclear to me.

It tells me A and B were alive at the same time, but is less clear about C.

I'd consider saying

eg A, B and C were contemporaries. A and B were followers of C
