The basilica was typically placed at the apse. This was the location in which the elders and clergy led their services. The altar was placed at the eastern end of the construction and the apse typically has a semicircular shape.

Answer:

at the apse.

Explanation:

This is an architectural concept. The notion allows to name the semicircular and domed sector of a temple that allows the installation of the presbytery and the altar. The apse, of polygonal or semicircular plan, is in the head of the church. Its origins date back to the Roman Empire. Then, in the basilicas, it began to be called apse to the space with seats, where the magistrate's chair was installed in front of the altar.

This is a hard one to answer. The reason is that you are asked to distinguish between 2 schools of thought that are very close together. Not only that, but the characteristic you are looking for is not mentioned in either description.

Since semiotics brings in many more fields of study than does iconography, then I would go with iconography. This school of thought seems content just to find the symbols according to its description. What is done with them is mentioned in the other school but is not elaborated upon.

My answer would be iconography.
