Randy Ingermanson ("the Snowflake guy") writes about this in his June 2012 E-zine, taking The Hunger Games as example, mostly for writing character synopses. Introduce the main character and her main story arc. Add the second character and his story arc, etcetera.

In your case perhaps you can describe the main character and her time period. Same for the other characters. If someone is time travelling, this will be trickier. But remember that just like you do not need to write a list of all places a character visits, you also do not need to record all time travels.

The synopsis does not need to follow the same route in place or time as the book.

I don't know specific examples for multiple POV and time periods, but perhaps search for summaries of Doctor Who.
