Luke quotes the Onion:
<< "Raise the heads on gilded poles! Roast the fatted calf! We need a
rousing song--summon Toby Keith!"

<< Does anyone know the historical (or literary?) on this? Ruled out Rome,
but maybe in the later years >>

I don't think this is a pointed reference. Who hasn't raised the heads of
their vanquished enemies on stakes and roasted fatted calves?
