In the 20th volume, the surviving excerpts from various sources of the 31st to the 40th book of Diodorus Siculus's "Historical Library" are included.
In the 31st book, Diodorus's strong pro-Roman sentiments are clearly distinguished, as well as in some other excerpts from other books.
The surviving excerpts narrate the events from the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes to Julius Caesar's campaign in Britain.
The history of the kingdoms of Bithynia and Cappadocia is included in this volume, as well as the kingdom of Pergamon and the Seleucids during the aforementioned period.
The uprising of Andriscus, which led to the destruction of Macedonia, the capture and destruction of Carthage in 146 BC, as well as Corinth the same year by the Romans, are detailed.
The wars of the Lusitanians against the Romans, the affairs of the Greek kingdom of Egypt, and the horrific crimes committed by the king of Thrace are recounted.
