    The author presents a new definition of the factorial which generalizes the standard one, and studies the binomial coefficients it induces along with their combinatorial properties. The generalization of the factorial is called Roman factorial \(\lfloor n\rceil!\) defined by \(\lfloor n\rceil!=1\times 2\times 3\times\cdots\times n\) for nonnegative integer and \[ \lfloor n\rceil!={(-1)^{n+1}\over(-n-1)!} \] for negative integer \(n\). The Roman coefficients are defined by \[ \lfloor{a\atop b}\rceil={\lfloor a\rceil!\over\lfloor b\rceil!\lfloor a-b\rceil!} \] for any real numbers \(a\) and \(b\).
