The capture, torture, and murders of those Romans took place during the R. Empire’s crisis of the third century. The Parthian Empire (such as it was) consisted of a couple of rulers from one of the Indo-Iranian tribes, followed a breakdown of the Hellenistic kingdom(s), and endured a little over 20 years. It was superseded by the Sasanian dynasty, which lasted 400 years.

I’m not sure what you meant by the Roman Empire’s crisis of the third century. The death of Crassus and son occurred in the century before the birth of Christ. He was part of the triumvarate that included Julius Caesar and Pompey.
