I wouldn't put Carrhae in the same league with the other great military disasters. It was a humiliation, especially losing the eagles, but the war was colossally unpopular with the public and with the Senate and ritually cursed by the tribune Ateius. It was seen as pretty much a one-man operation so that "Rome" wasn't defeated, just Marcus Crassus and his private army.
