Please help me figure these clauses

I'm having a problem to identify these sentences as main clauses or subordinate clauses.

1. However, at the height of the Persian Empire, it was said that the soldiers of Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.) who were accustomed to lengthy marches, baked a kind of flat bread on their shield and then covered it with cheese and dates.

2. Pizza found its way to America along with the Italians in the later part of the 19th century and was introduced to Chicago by a peddler who walked through Taylor Street with a metal washtub of pizzas on his head, the same traditional way of selling pizza in Naples

Thanks in advance.
