Answer to Question 1

E
In depicting Christ, the artist borrowed the iconography of the Greek and Roman god Apollo, who was often portrayed riding his chariot across the sky as the sun god.

Answer to Question 2

C
The octagonal floor plan in San Vitale is a departure from the standard cross plan in Western churches, but the major axis is vertical, from floor to dome, or symbolically from earth to the vault of the heaven.
