Some slaves, for all their supposed unworthyness were probably much nicer and kinder people..maybe why some women found them more attractive than the 'superior' Roman full of his own importance...
Some slaves were more than likely of better ancestry than their 'masters'.

IMHO, there is no such thing as good or bad ancestry, but I agree with your statement that slaves were often better people than their owners, especially since many of them were educated. Epictetus himself was a slave in his youth.
