Hi
I would echo what Claire says. Elaborately decorated tunics are later. For the first century the only tunic decoration is likely to be the two bands called clavi, although it is far from clear that military tunics had them.
It should also be remembered that we have no certain surviving examples of military tunics from any period although several could be contenders.
