Both take place in time periods in which men carry weapons.

Explanation: Ovid’s Pyramus and Thisbe is set in ancient times (Babylon) and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in Renaissance Verona—both settings involve societies where men commonly bear weapons, which contributes to the feuds and violent outcomes.
