Dear Tom

(formerly SS. Domenico e Sisto);
Our Lady of the Mater Omnium (15th century), church of Sant'Agostino;
Our Lady of the Intercession (13th century), church of Sant'Alessio
all'Aventino;
Virgin and child, icon (6th century), church of Santa Maria ad Martyres
(Pantheon);
Our Lady of Aracoeli (12th century), church of Santa Maria dell'Aracoeli;
Our Lady of the People (14th century), church of Santa Maria del Popolo;
Our Lady of the Graces (16th century), church of Santa Maria delle Grazie
near the Hospital of the Consolation (now Questura di polizia);
Our Lady of Constantinople (16th century), church of Santa Maria dell'Itria;
Our Lady of the Consolation (12th century), church of Santa Maria in Campo
Marzo;
Madonna della Clemenza (8th century), church of Santa Maria in Trastevere;

Our Lady "Salus populi romani" (7th-8th century), church of Santa Maria

Maybe one of these images was the one you saw in Rome.
