Casus Belli is a mod exclusively made by Italian peoples, and the mod itself is made in Italian Language. It includes reskins for units of all factions, which are sometimes completely changed, and adds numerous historical scripts and features to the game. The mod covers the Roman Republic and the High Roman Empire periods; the normal imperial campaign, named ''Rome Casus Belli'', begins in 170 BC and ends in 211 AD. There are also two provincial campaigns: ''Trophaeum 551 AVC'' - map based on RS II campaign map - with a lot of custom improvements (timeframe: 202 BC - 180 AD), and the Boudicca revolt's campaign (timeframe: 61 - 62 AD).

Casus Belli got its own hosted mod forum in early 2007. Modred, who had been the Alaudae Team leader, created a new edition in 2009, called Rome Casus Belli Classic Game, and released a series of versions. Then, in 2010, Iulianus Apostata began another new mod project, called Rome Casus Belli Gold, to continue the Modred's job. On May 2011, Iulianus Apostata released his first full creation, the 1.7.0 version; and then in late 2012, him, with his new Casus Belli Mod Team, released the latest full edition, version 1.8.0; which, in early October 2013, was followed by the 1.8.5 patch.
