If it was purely poetic language, why the Roman objection to Atilla being compared to a God? Feel like there has to be more to it than that.

The "dispute" was about status, not a simple ontological fact. The Roman did not grant Attila the same rank as Theodosius. Calling him "God" means that Theodosius has the highest rank possible, but Attila not.
