The earlier date is 700BC, or 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ (BC=Before Christ). It may to think of 700BC as 700 years before the year zero (ie -700), and 100BC as 100 years before the year zero (ie -100). On the other hand, if you are looking at it from the point of view of today and looking backwards, then the first date is 100BC (2008 + 100 = 2108 years ago), and the later date is 700BC ( 2008 + 700=2708 years ago).
