How to share files between roles (self.ansible)

We use AAP to deploy roles. The roles are in Git. I now have 2 roles that need to deploy the same files and templates, and of course I don't want to keep 2 versions in Git. How could I solve that?

Is it possible that the files and templates could (should?) be part of separate role that you perhaps pull in as dependency?

The other pattern I saw out there was that the file/template wasn't part of the roles, but was instead provided by playbook that is using the roles. So file was in repository with playbook and template/file path was passed to role as parameter.
