Hello Tobias,
Under the influence of other people the fashions in the Roman Empire changed of course and also in the case of tunic forms and decorations you will find more different and and complex patterns towards the late Empire.
Also a central stripe came into fashion, see for example the poor guys on the Isola Rizza dish

But for the 1st to 3rd Century there is no tunic or a depiction of a tunic with central stripe known to me which might be seen as a social rank marker.
Perhaps the maker of the tunic you posted has limited his research to the movie-scene.
