‘It is by solidity of criticism more than by the plenitude of erudition, that the study of history strengthens, and straightens, and extends the mind.’ ‘For the critic’, continued Lord Acton, ‘is one who, when he lights on an interesting statement, begins by suspecting it.’

Very good. Pretty intense though, you'd need a reasonably serious interest to get through all 6 vols. (~800pg each). First volume is 6th to 11th centuries but there's a lot of background and scene setting on Late Antiquity from around 3rd century on. Pretty much all regions are covered.
