Did the roman gods need to use a telescope to see Venus?
Venus is a Roman God, so, no.
Do you need a telescope to observe the phases of Venus?
Yes. Even a fairly small telescope will be adequate to reveal "the horns" of Venus. When Venus is at its maximum distance from the sun (to our perspective--not its aphelion) it will be half full. After that it either becomes crescent shaped as it swings our way, or fills out as it moves behind the sun.
What is the history of Venus?
According to scientists, Venus is considered one of the brightest planets that can be seen without the need for a telescope. The planet was named after the Greek goddess of love which was Aphrodite and it was discovered by the mathematician Pythagoras.
Can a planet make a solar eclipse?
Yes it can. But the planets between the Earth and the Sun (Mercury and Venus) are so far away that they cast only tiny shadows as seen from Earth, unlike the comparatively nearby Moon. When Mercury is seen crossing the Sun (next transit 2016), it is too small to be seen with the naked eye. When Venus crosses (next transits are in June 2012 and in 2117), it appears as a tiny dot about 1/100th the diameter of the Sun. Again, you would need special filters and a telescope to observe it crossing. (see related image link)
Which planet is the easiest to spot using a telescope?
The Earth is definitely the #1 easiest. Next in line would be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Each of those is visible without a telescope, so you'd know exactly where to point your telescope by seeing the planet with your eye first. The brightest planet that you do need a telescope to see is Uranus. So you definitely won't miss it when you're pointed at it, but you need to know where to point.

We were looking at Venus through binoculars and it seemed to be rotating and you could see black holes then really bright lights all over?
With binoculars, Venus would look like a very bright object. To see more detail, such as dark sports, you would really need a telescope.
Can planets be seen on a clear night with the naked eye?
Yes, some planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are bright enough to be seen with the naked eye on a clear night. They appear as bright, star-like objects in the night sky, without the need for a telescope.
