There is not a lot of evidence for when these decorated tunics first appeared, One of the earliest examples is a tunic from Palmyra which must predate the sack of the city by the Romans. I think Parlasca notes the similarities of the tunic in the picture with the tunic from Palmyra and suggested therefore that they were similar in date.
The earliest decorations seem to be largely geometric designs.
