Which roof tiles are these?

[Ash 73]

Hello all. I have a few of these roof tiles, but need some more for a project. For the life of me I can't seem to find any online. Half the problem may be that I don't know what to type in to find them. Could someone identify them please? Many thanks in advance.
(Probably not the best pic, but they are curved and tapered)

Thanks for the reply . These seem to be a rarity from what I can tell.

A lot of tiles were brought over from abroad when the vessel couldn't find a suitable cargo and they needed ballast. Long shelf life and cheap.

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can find some? I'm in milton Keynes.

a type used on ancient Roman roofs (but not the same as are called Roman Tiles today).

Would ridge tiles do? What are you making?

They are tapered and the under is different to the over

I'm hoping to build a small entrance porch from timber, and thought these would look good up top to bring a bit of the Mediterranean to milton Keynes

I actually thought these were a type of ridge tile that I could use to get the desired look. Turns out they are actually the real thing. It's the taper I need for the overlap.

I did have a look at those. Really nice, but slightly different in that the lower tile is flat. What I had in mind was 2 layers of curved tiles. But they'd definitely look good...
