Propaganda only works if there’s truth hidden somewhere. It’s unlikely it was completely made up. It’s also not worth putting on a temple unless it’s somewhat agreed that these people were a serious threat.

Imagine Trajan making a column and it’s just 90% bs. Would not fly.

That is a good point, especially in a temple I imagine lying about someone's deeds there would be unacceptable, unfortunately sifting through the simple truth and the whole truth of the matter is the difficult part!
