Rodolivos (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Ροδoλίβος) is a town and a former municipality in the Serres regional unit, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Amfipoli, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.[1] The municipal unit has an area of 106.034 km2.[2] It is about 30 km from Drama.

Just next to Rodolivos, namely on the hill of "St. Athanasius" and also in the neighboring place "Kouria", are attested traces of two ancient settlements of Edonis (Greek: Ηδωνίδα), which were located on the via Egnatia.[3] In these sites were found some inscriptions of imperial times (2nd-3rd AD).[4]
