Quote:Besides, I'm certain that the Romans, as practical as they were, wouldn't have gone through three wars and a couple of legions for the sake of propoganda....

The propaganda came afterwards. All rulers try to emphasise their military successes. The enemy is exaggerated to make them more threatening than they really were. The propagandic success of Trajans Column is evident by the very existence of this thread. The Dacians would barely make it into the top ten of Rome's enemies using any realistic criteria.
