this is a very detailed take and a variation on the Suebian Knot hairstyle worn by Germans during the period depicted. This guy in the painting is a German barbarian who is either visiting the emperor or has been Romanized.

Wikipedia:

Roman historian Tacitus reports in Germania (98 CE) that the Suebian warriors combed their hair back or sideways and tied it into a knot, allegedly with the purpose of appearing taller and more awe-inspiring on the battlefield. Tacitus also reports that the fashion had spread to neighboring Germanic tribes among the younger warriors, while among the Suebians, the knot was sported even by old men as a status symbol, which "distinguishes the freeman from the slave", with the most artful knots worn by the most wealthy nobles[...]

we actually have two physical, extant examples of the Suebian Knot on two bog bodies whose hair survived the mummification process, Dätgen Man and Osterby Man. here is the latter:

“The Victorian beaded mourning cape is found with GEM, the Prabal Gurung slip dress from their publicist, 60s chainmail purse from Dauphinette, Alexander McQueen faithful skull biker boots from eBay, jewelry from Alexander McQueen, an antique store in Ithaca, and my mom’s childhood in China. To me, fashion is a nonverbal language, a visual vehicle for self expression — it’s a way for me to convey my stories when words don’t suffice. I love vintage pieces from time periods or cultural movements that inspire me, by designers who I connect with, and most of all, from my mother’s closet!”
