period-specific
Tied to an era
Period-specific describes something that belongs to or is characteristic of a particular era: period-specific costumes for the Victorian drama, period-specific slang that wouldn't appear in earlier texts.
The term appears most often in discussions of historical accuracy in film, literature, or research, distinguishing details authentic to one time from anachronisms or general features.
