, bands which were the basis of the then new progressive rock scene.
Because the band was experimental, and had been labeled by founder Antonio Bartoccetti as a ''youth mistake'', Jacula's discography is relatively small.
The group completed three albums, ''
Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus'' in 1972,
Pre Viam in May, 2011 and ''
In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum'', which release date is still debated.
Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus featured Fiamma Dello Spirito's vocals, with a sound influenced by bands of the Italian underground scene such as
Le Orme. In the 1970s, Jacula changed their name to
Antonius Rex, maintaining the same lineup, until the release of Pre Viam.
