Apparently there is an instance of a unit bringing shame by running from the enemy, which is seen somewhere on the column depicted by legionaries turning their backs on the enemy. The way they're depicted (the Fleeing Legionary) would have been recognisable as such by Roman military men of the time, and it's been suggested he represents the XXI Rapax which suffered damnatio memoriae. His shield is also bereft of emblems, apparently.

So, yes, it's propoganda which makes it a bag of ...., but it doesn't hide everything for those who would know. Theoretically.
