I'm all preserving ancient relics. Maybe turn the whole thing over to some organization that knows how to care for the Roman pillar properly, like the Art Institute or the Field Museum (assuming they'd want it, ot course)? I'm just spitballing here, but it seems like a museum would be an appropriate home for something like that.
